Exam and Assessment Results

Outcomes are reported as scaled scores ranging from 80-120. A scaled score of 100 is the expected standard. A scaled score of 110+ indicates that a child is “working at greater depth” (GD-higher standard).

The DfE introduced a new Primary assessment system, which was implemented in 2016. This included a new “expected standard” (a higher standard in previous years under the “levels” system) along with new tests in Reading and Mathematics, with outcomes reported as scaled scores ranging from 80-120. A scaled score of 100 is the expected standard. Writing is based on teacher assessment.
